Hello everyone. After years of only having Phalaeonopsis, I decided it's time for something new. So off to the local gardencenter I went and found those here on the sale shelf.
What do you think, do they look healthy? Any tips for the Care, what is different to Phals?
I appreciate any information 🙏
PS, I also saw some nice Paphiodelium, Masdevallia and Schilleriana. Should I go back and get them as well 😅😂

Are those in soil? It’s kinda hard to tell but looks very potting-mixy to me.
One is an oncidium of some kind, the purple one is probably a zygonisia or a zygonisia hybrid (zygonisia murasakikomachi?).
The zygobisia seems potted way higher than the substrate, for the next repot i woudl try to cover more of the roots (but they are still epiphytuc plants, no there no need to worry).
Treat them like you pahls, but water them a bit more frequently (if you water the phals every 1.5 weeks, water oncidiums every 1 week for example).
The black spot doesn’t seem concerning, just jently scrape the wite part away with a wet towel and it should come off.
Overall very healthy plants!
